Application of your idea that he should accelerate without thinking. What if it is a motorcycle backfire?

Reasoning. Locating the shooter would be more important than locating where the shots originated from.

So the idea that initials were necessary can be discarded as lacking support.

Don`t know what you are talking about.
I have seen photos only showing certain portions of the TSBD, I don`t presume that the portions not shown didn`t exist when the photo was taken.

You think because you guys have made a hobby out of looking at the wrong things incorrectly that every should follow your lead.

This is what I wrote...
"People often relate events differently when they retell them."
Whenever I write an obvious fact that Ben can`t contest he declares it a fallacy and removes it.

Reasonable people aware of the facts, of course.

Try once.
You are still telling the same lie, they were drafting a request, they hadn`t sought the records.

That Ford corrected some sloppy wording is the most reasonable explanation. "above the shoulders" was a poor choice of words.

Of course. And you missed a ton of more glaring, and actual examples of human error. Like the people who thought the shots came from the knoll (not true error, of course, they were only giving their best guess). The cop who misidentified the Tippit shells as automatic. The wrong address given to the ambulance in the Tippit shooting.
